			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong><span id="more-128066"></span>Round Hits White House Window</strong></p>
<p><strong></strong>The Secret Service has confirmed that someone fired a bullet that struck the White House, according to the Associated Press. The President's official security detail says the bullet struck an exterior window of <strong>Pres. Barack Obama</strong>'s place of residence, but was stopped by bullet resistant glass.</p>
<p>A second round was also located outside. Both bullets were discovered on Tuesday (November 15). Witnesses reported hearing gunshots on Friday (November 11) and seeing two vehicles flee the scene at a high rate of speed. An AK-47 assault rifle was found nearby.</p>
<p>The Secret Service has yet to tie the two incidents together through ballistics evidence.</p>
<p>On Wednesday (November 16), authorities arrested Oscar Ortega-Hernandez in connection with last Friday's shooting. Pennsylvania police apprehended Ortega-Hernadez at a hotel near Indiana, Pa around noon. An arrest warrant was issued for Ortega-Hernadez on Friday. Authorities say he moved to the D.C. area over a month ago. The 21-year-old was reported missing by his family in Idaho Falls, Idaho on Halloween.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Democrats are reeling after Republican Scott Brown won the Senate seat occupied by Senator Ted Kennedy for almost half a century.</p>
<p>His win was a huge upset for Democrats especially considering that Brown has been extremely vocal about his opposition to healthcare reform.</p>
<p>He defeated Democrat Martha Coakley the once favored candidate in the race.</p>
<p>With his election, Brown will become the 41st Republican in the 100-member Senate, which could allow the GOP to block the president's health care legislation.</p>
<p>Coakley was needed to win to provide the 60 democrats allotted to block Republicans from using filibusters against healthcare.</p>
<p>His win is being considered a “stunning upset” for the White House.</p>
<p>SMH.</p>
<p>Damn Massachusetts, you couldn't pull through for Ted?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In another “you've got to be kidding me” moment, another couple has come forward as crashers at the White House. A Georgia couple is admitting to accidentally crashing an exclusive breakfast with President Obama, First Lady Michelle Obama and their staff.</p>
<p>White House officials claim they were just being “hospitable” when they allowed Harvey and Paula Darden from Hogansville, Georgia access to the breakfast the day before Veterans Day when they arrived for a tour.</p>
<p>According to the <em>Associated Press</em>, the couple was ushered into the event two weeks before Tareq and Michaele Salahi infamously crashed the Obamas' state dinner for the prime minister of India.</p>
<p>White House and Secret Service officials claim that the Dardens went through the appropriate security screenings and were allowed into the breakfast as a courtesy because there were no public tours the day they arrived.</p>
<p>The couple rebuttals that claim, however, and told the<em> AP</em> they thought they were taking a regularly scheduled tour until they were ushered into the East Room, offered a buffet spread and told they'd be meeting the president.</p>
<p>The AP also reports that when they expressed concern to a White House aide, they were told to, quote:</p>
<blockquote><p><strong>"Go with the flow."</strong></p>
<p><strong><br />
</strong></p></blockquote>
<p>Ummmmm……does anyone else see a HUGE problem with this?</p>
<p>This NEVER happened when Bush was in office.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>President Obama's half brother is speaking out about abuse he claims he received at the hands of their father. Mark Ndesandj told the <em>Associated Press </em>that he wrote a semi-autobiographical book about an abusive parent largely based on the man with whom they share DNA.</p>
<p>He told the <em>AP</em>,</p>
<blockquote><p><strong>“My father beat my mother and my father beat me, and you don't do that. It's something which I think affected me for a long time, and it's something that I've just recently come to terms with.”</strong></p>
<p><strong><br />
</strong></p></blockquote>
<p>The President has never spoken of abuse from his father. In his memoir he claims that his father was exceedingly absent in his life up until his death in 1982.</p>
<p>Ndesandi would not speak on his relationship with his brother but has plans to see him when the President visits China, where he resides, on November 15.</p>
<p>President Obama has at least six other siblings in Kenya.</p>
<p>Barack Obama, Sr. divorced the head of state's mother in 1964.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>After the infamous video of the fatal beating of 16-year old Chicago student Derrion Albert hit the news, the White House sent Attorney General Eric Holder to the area to. <em>The Associated Press</em> reports that Attorney General Holder was accompanied by Education Secretary Arne Duncan in Chicago Wednesday and called Albert's death a “wake up call for the country” saying,</p>
<blockquote><p><strong>"Youth violence is not a Chicago problem, any more than it is a black problem, a white problem or a Hispanic problem, it is an American problem.”</strong></p></blockquote>
<p>He also added that the Obama administration plans to ask for $25 million in next year's budget for crime prevention programs.</p>
<p>Secretary Duncan spoke out on the situation as well adding that an emergency grant of $500,000 would be given to Fenger Academy High School, the school Derrion Albert attended, for counselors and grief programs.</p>
<p>Nice to see the White House taking a stand. $500,000 sounds like an awful lot of money though for one school's counseling and grief programs. Hope they use it <strong>wisely</strong>.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Congressman Trent Franks has been a thorn in the side of President Obama since the days leading up to his election.</p>
<p>The Republican representative from Arizona was one of the first people to question the legitimacy of America's first Black President, helping to kick off a movement that would eventually lead to the “Birther” phenomena that plagues sane Americans daily.</p>
<p>Recently, the Congressman has upped the wager in the battle of intellectual good against the legion of buffoons that follow nimrods such as Sean Hannity and Rush Limbaugh.</p>
<p>Speaking to an audience at the “<em>How to Take Back America</em>” conference, the House representative launched a linguistic salvo aimed at the White House, speaking in a manner that can only be described as disrespectful and unprecedented.</p>
<p><strong>“Obama's first act as president of any consequence, in the middle of a financial meltdown, was to send taxpayers' money overseas to pay for the killing of unborn children in other countries," said Franks to a sea of supportive like-minded numbskulls.,”</strong></p>
<p>The speech by Congressman Franks marks the continuation of personal attacks against the leader of the free world.</p>
<p>Among some of the first to speak out against the speech by Franks and other seemingly inconceivable attacks against the White House is People For the American Way's Right Wing Watch, a social group that tasks itself with keeping fringe right-wingers accountable for their actions.</p>
<p><strong>Representative Trent Franks' remarks at the How to Take Back America Conference show a stunning lack of respect for our President and the office of the presidency itself,”</strong> remarked organization President Michael B. Keegan in a press statement.</p>
<p><strong>“Representative Franks is following the lead of Glenn Beck, but he is a member of Congress, not a talk show host, and he should act like one.”</strong></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The White House is sending Attorney General Eric Holder to Chicago in light of the beating death of Derrion Albert. The White House was relatively mum after the video showing the brutal beating of the 16-year-old boy hit the net. White House Press Secretary, Robert Gibbs, described the video as “chilling” and said:</p>
<blockquote><p><strong>"Though government cannot regulate what's in people's hearts, the White House believes such crimes call for community involvement.” </strong></p></blockquote>
<p>Now the Obama administration is taking a stand and sending Holder to the area where the incident took place. The Attorney General will meet with school officials, residents and students to talk about school violence. Holder arrives in Chicago Wednesday.</p>
